Fig. 10. Alcohol dysregulates NK cell bactericidal capacity.

Fig. 10

Mouse primary splenic NK cells were collected from alcohol-fed and treated mice and co-cultured with bacteria for 3 h. A Percent viable K. pneumoniae, and (B) percent viable S. pneumoniae 3 h. post co-culture. Percent killing was calculated as the total number of viable bacteria post 3 h. incubation divided by the number of viable bacteria grown in OptiMEM without NK cells present. p values are indicated in the figure by one‐way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison. N = 6–7 wells of primary NK cells/group (12–14 mice/group, NK cells per 2 mice were pooled) derived from 2 independent experiments.
